"Squeak."

The door was unlocked, and it was opened with a gentle push by Li Renjie.

"Huh?"

Before he could go in, Li Renjie's brows furrowed.

I saw that the clean and tidy yard was very chaotic, with some broken chairs and a few broken legs, and some domestic garbage accumulated, and the air was rotten with a rotten smell.

That's not right!

Li Renjie has lived here since he was a child, and his aunt and uncle have always been hard-working farmers, especially the aunt is very housekeeper and always cleans up the house inside and out.

"People can't be short-minded."

The aunt often put this sentence on her lips to educate Li Renjie and his cousin, who was four years younger than him.

Even if she is sick, her aunt has to clean herself up very energetically.

There is only one explanation for the scene in front of me, and that is that something has happened in the family.

"Second uncle, second aunt!"

Li Renjie shouted and strode in.

The door was not locked, it was half-open, and the inside of the house was even more unsightly.

In addition to the hard solid wood sofa, the TV, refrigerator, washing machine, air conditioner, etc. inside were all smashed.

The same is true in the bedroom, where all the clothes in the wardrobe are thrown on the floor, the sheets and quilts are torn, and the whole home looks like it has experienced a tornado.

What the hell is going on?!

Just as Li Renjie was standing in the house in a daze, there was a noise in the courtyard, and a middle-aged woman with short ear-length hair sobbed softly while lifting up the chair that had fallen to the ground, her clothes were torn in several places, and her face and exposed skin were covered with bruises.

"Second aunt."

When Li Renjie saw this woman, he walked over quickly.

This middle-aged woman who is a little weak on the outside but strong on the inside is Li Renjie's second aunt ---- Du Xiaojuan.

"Xiaojie."

Du Xiaojuan's face was slightly stunned, and she immediately wiped her tears with her sleeve, squeezed out a smile and said,

"Xiaojie, why don't you say hello when you come back?

Must be hungry, right?

Wait, my aunt will go and stew you a few poached eggs, and then roll noodles for you to eat later. ”

"Second aunt, I'm not hungry."

Li Renjie grabbed the second aunt who wanted to go into the kitchen to work, and then stretched out his hand and pointed around and said,

"Second aunt, don't hide it from me, tell me what's going on at home?

What about the second uncle? And what about Xiaowen? ”

Cun Xiaojuan's eyes flashed and said, "Your second uncle has something to do and is busy working, and your sister is still in school." ”

Li Renjie said with a calm face: "Second aunt, I don't know where the second uncle went, but now it's summer vacation, you say that Xiaowen is still in school, you must be lying to me."

Neither!

Anyway, we have lived together for more than ten years, and I was raised by you, so you still treat me as an outsider, right? ”

"No, Auntie didn't mean that."

Cun Xiaojuan is an honest farmer, since she was a child, she has treated Li Renjie as her own son, and what she is most afraid of is that Li Renjie will think that they are not a family, and when she heard Li Renjie say this, she hurriedly waved her hand.

"Auntie, since we are a family, then you can tell me honestly what happened and what happened to the family?"

Li Renjie asked repeatedly.

"Ugh."

Du Xiaojuan saw that she couldn't hide it anymore, so she sighed and followed the sermon,

"Xiaojie, this is a long story, I don't know how this family became what it is today."

"It's okay aunt, I have time now, you talk to me slowly from the beginning."

Li Renjie helped Du Xiaojuan sit on a chair and poured her a glass of water, and the two chatted in the courtyard.

Soon Li Renjie figured out the whole ins and outs of the matter.

It turned out that not long after Li Renjie joined the army, his second uncle Li Shicheng was cheated of tens of thousands of yuan.

Immediately after, Li Shicheng became addicted to drugs.

As soon as he became addicted to drugs, Li Shicheng, who was originally honest and hardworking, completely changed, and he no longer worked in the fields, let alone went out to work.

If you don't have money, you will sell your property, or ask Du Xiaojuan for it, and if you don't give it, you will beat it, and you will smash the things at home.

Not long ago, Du Xiaojuan suddenly discovered that the only house in the family was also mortgaged by Li Shicheng, not only that, but also owed hundreds of thousands of huge sums outside.

can't pay the money, the debt collector comes to the house every day to make trouble, and the matter also involves his cousin Li Shuangwen, who has just graduated from junior high school.

In order to pay off his father's debts, Li Shuangwen was introduced to a KTV to work, and it is said that he went to be a singing companion.

Du Xiaojuan didn't know what the singing was, but with the word "accompanying", she decided that it was never a serious job, coupled with the high salary promised by the other party, Du Xiaojuan resolutely disagreed with Li Shuangwen to go to work in the song hall.

As a result, when Du Xiaojuan went to the song hall to persuade Li Shuangwen just now, not only did she not even see Li Shuangwen's person, but she was also beaten by the security guard of the song hall.

"Whew."

Li Renjie took a deep breath and slowly exhaled, gradually suppressing the anger in his heart to prevent himself from losing his mind.

"Auntie, do you think that the second uncle was given a trick, otherwise how could he be cheated out of tens of thousands of yuan for no reason and become addicted to drugs?

There is also the matter of Xiaowen, the song hall is clearly in the same group as the person who set the second uncle, and he is pushing Xiaowen into the fire pit! ”

Li Renjie clenched his fists as he spoke, thinking of this kind of change in his family, he was really going crazy and wanted to kill someone!

"Applejack, I remembered when you said that.

It's been rumored that we're going to be demolished here, do you think this thing will have anything to do with the demolition? ”

Du Xiaojuan asked a little uncertainly.

Demolition!

Li Renjie's eyes lit up, and all the things that he couldn't figure out were figured out at once.

It seems that someone learned about the Li family's demolition early in the morning, so they set their eyes on this piece of fat and tried their best to pit the Li family.

If the other party simply asked for money, it would be fine, but they let the second uncle get involved in drugs and pushed his cousin Li Shuangwen into the fire pit, which is absolutely unforgivable!

Li Renjie thought for a while and said, "Auntie, everything is still uncertain now. You tell me where Xiaowen works first, and I'll go over and see if I can persuade her to come back. ”

When Du Xiaojuan heard that Li Renjie was going to call her daughter back, her face was overjoyed, and then she said with some worry: "Xiaojie, it's not that my aunt can't trust you."

I didn't even see anyone when my aunt went there before, and they beat me up, can you go? ”

Li Renjie smiled: "Auntie, don't worry, I naturally have a way."

If it really doesn't work, if they want to do it, I'll run, and it's a big deal to call the police. ”

"That's what you're talking about. Xiaojie, then you must promise your aunt that if you see something wrong, run away, don't do anything with them, ah? ”

Du Xiaojuan instructed, for fear that something would happen to Li Renjie.

"Hey. Auntie, don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old child.

Besides, I'm a soldier, and if I can't even handle this little thing, how can I defend my family and country? ”

Li Renjie said with a straight face.

"My Xiaojie has grown up and is now a soldier, and I almost forgot about it."

Village Xiaojuan stretched out her hand and stroked Li Renjie's face, very pleased.
